That's a beauty.....you will enjoy it to the max. The GS handlebars will make the ergos much better, if you have shoulder issues.

Congrats and enjoy...... 8)

NIIIIICE!! Keep those stock parts. The bike will probably have better resale value on that 80th edition if you have all the stock parts.

Nice looking bike.

The 80th Ed was the Rockster that always turned my head. The handlebars were a wide reach for me and hurt my shoulders when I rode one once, but I could have gotten use to it, given another chance, I think.

Congratulations. May you two never part!!! :wink:

No offense, but why are so many Rock-riders here trying to convert their Rockster into some kind of RT by adding huge windscreens and handguards;
if you want to ride an RT, buy an RT......

None offense taken... I don't know for the others, but for myself:
- The Rock is about 80 lbs lighter. Right?
- More aggressive chassis geometry.
- You can quickly take the shield off when it gets hot (Yeah, I guess you can take the shield and whole fairing off the LT too. But that would look kind of silly..)
- Price difference?
And the two most important reasons of all...
- You can't get the COOL color combos on an LT... 8)
- What sounds better... "I own a Rockster." or "I own an LT."
I rest my case... :smt040

Welcome gliniak, nice bike...

Welcome gliniak, nice bike...
thank you:)


Oh yeah...All what you said is true 8)
My friends had the same “problem” here in Poland. They asked me why I did it. Why I did not buy RT or GS.I said that I needed cheaper, lighter and more aggressive bike. 80 % of my riding time is taking place in city between banks and my office. This is the reason that I need panniers. Windshield is also very important when you want to travel comfortably. In my climate zone (central/east Europe) the weather is often cold. Consequently you need more protection. On the other hand when it is hot I can remove windshield and panniers easily obtaining aggressive naked bike. Try to do it with RT – it is impossible.
